Most BIOSes these days also carry those updates, so a newer BIOS may well have
the updated microcode as well. Those don't step on each other's toes, as an
upgrade is not only non-permanent (doesn't alter the CPU - it reverts to
factory microcode after reboot), but the Linux microcode tools won't
downgrade the microcode either (at least not by default).
